getcrunk··on Show HN: Lstr – A modern, interactive tree command written in Rust
Great catch! Comments mentioned getting it down to ~2MB but that’s still humongous.

If you just think about how roughly (napkin math) 2MB can be 100k loc, that’s nuts

getcrunk··on Anne Wojcicki to buy back 23andMe and its data for $305M
Oh wow. Sold it to her self and got off on her debts. America!
getcrunk··on Another Crack in the Chain of Trust: Uncovering (Yet Another) Secure Boot Bypass
What hardware do you use the most recent supported seems like the Librem offerings. Which are intel 10th gen. Otherwise it’s gets pretty ancient
getcrunk··on Another Crack in the Chain of Trust: Uncovering (Yet Another) Secure Boot Bypass
Yea but when things like this keep happening … it becomes a pattern. A very convenient one at that.
getcrunk··on What methylene blue can (and can’t) do for the brain
Didn’t Mel Gibson say it cures cancer? On jre
getcrunk··on The time bomb in the tax code that's fueling mass tech layoffs
Idk but it was under trump. And the meta issue was balancing the budget after all his tax cuts so he needed to find more tax revenues. Which this accomplishes pretty handily
getcrunk··on 'Spiderweb' drone attack marks a new threat for top militaries
It’s only a matter of time before governments with the money and the sense adopt automated anti drone radar/turrets.

It’s funny that they haven’t already. I mean it’s about “national security.” This threat has been looming for 10 maybe 15 years now

getcrunk··on Show HN: Scrape Creators – Real time Social media scraping APIs for devs
How do you deal robustly with the changing cat/mouse game of unofficial api access/scraping?

Do you use your own “bot” accounts?

getcrunk··on Yggdrasil is an experimental compact routing scheme that is fully decentralised
Mesh/decentralized networks seem poised to finally take off and become widespread. Unfortunately I don’t think it will be in the form of a cyber utopia free of control but a tool of power and surveillance, networking ai powered robots (swarm based weapons) and other smart things
getcrunk··on Only Teslas exempt from new auto tariffs thanks to 85% domestic content rule
Is that like projection?
getcrunk··on I made my AI think harder by making it argue with itself
Hello cnn’s
getcrunk··on Ninth Circuit Takes a Wrecking Ball to Internet Personal Jurisdiction Law
Backstory from eff:

getcrunk··on Show HN: Novanode, Global load balancing with Caddy, no vendor lock-in
How much of a difference would automated health checks+programatic dns updates make vs any cast
getcrunk··on Show HN: A personal YouTube frontend based on yt-dlp
I get sign in to prove your not a bot all the time since the last few months esp on vpn. Too scared to use my home ip cus I don’t want my gmail to get banned with it
getcrunk··on Anyone can push updates to the doge.gov website
Don’t think of it as a tautology, think of it as a heuristic
getcrunk··on NSA can track powered-down phones
I don’t have an ee/hardware background but given two things I can naïvely assume this is possible.

1) Nowadays, we can send text messages directly through satellites in space. So the satellites are obviously sensitive enough to pick up whatever is being admitted from the phones.

2) I forget what they’re called, But for more than a few decades, now the way the bug detectors work is by relying on some physical properties of transistors when exposed to some EMF maybe, even when off.

So yeah, with like advanced modern sensors and AI power signal processing maybe it is possible.

Someone with an EE background can sign in and tell me why maybe 2 is not possible from space

getcrunk··on The war against headlight brightness
Why did they stop? Seems like a ticket quota wet dream
getcrunk··on AMD 'Strix Halo' Ryzen AI Max+ Debuts with RDNA 3.5 Graphics and Zen 5 CPU Cores
Amd in general has allowed their mobile cpus to power scale. I don’t see why this would be any different. 15w on the go. 120 with plug

Edit: per article these are positioned from 45w up

getcrunk··on Eliminating Daylight Savings Time would make the average American’s life darker
I think it’s better to switch to dst permanently
getcrunk··on Nullboard: Kanban board in a single HTML file
This rational appeals to me strongly, especially on a primal level

But also that’s a lot of code in general

getcrunk··on Advanced Civilizations Could Be Indistinguishable from Nature
I appreciate your overall framing one thing worth pointing out, though is we really won’t ever be mineral limited as long as our sun is alive. I think in a 50 to 100 years asteroid mining and/or non-terrestrial habitats will become normal
getcrunk··on Researchers discover new third class of magnetism
Everything you added is context I.e. qualifications
getcrunk··on Researchers discover new third class of magnetism
Parallel without qualification should not imply direction?
getcrunk··on Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre operating system
I think the occasion related part is meant to be explicit about the default relationship. That doesn’t in anyway preclude you the user from deciding the occasion to be all the time. The point is you have to opt in to that actively
getcrunk··on Hetzner cuts traffic on US VPSs, raises prices
Good for them! Continue to be profitable and competitive so I can keep using them 20 years from now when they still decimate big cloud at 100x pricing or big cloud value add layer companies at 200x pricing
getcrunk··on Unreal 5.5 is a big deal [video]
It would be cool if companies in their position make two versions of their products. One continues on this trajectory that {adds bloat | becomes more modern} and another that prioritizes avoiding performance regression by a few metrics.
getcrunk··on It's time to replace TCP in the datacenter (2023)
Quic is an attack on network based filtering (ad blockers) similar to doH. There likely are convenient ulterior motives.
getcrunk··on The tragedy of running an old Node project
How exactly does one do that. Sounds exciting!
getcrunk··on Show HN: Jelly – A simpler shared inbox for small teams
Iirc when doing it support in college an incoming email to the support address would create a ticket with threading, Where a reply would be a reply to the customer as an email or you can also have internal conversations with your team members and tag and lock things as well. Osticket iirc
getcrunk··on What I wish someone told me about Postgres
Nice one! I’m working on an app the is user/consumer facing but will eventually have a teams/bussiness offering. Everything has a uid with it cus users are the core of your app. But yea if your multitennant then tenants should be treated like that as well.
